speaking of Messrs. Wilson and

The writer is evidently off on the
"plastic :" character of our towns

fortunately for us there is too much
long-range foresight and careful
party management found in him for
Republican comfort. He makes lit

is true that he did not carry his own

The custom of wiring books instead
Of sewing the sheets together, was i'm
ported, we believe, from America, and is
there used almost universally. Even
costly scientific treatises receive this
abominable treatment. Here it is at pres
ent used chiefly for the cheap and ephem-
eral literature, which perhaps it is not
unsuited for. But book buyers should
refuse to take copies of valuable books
that have been wired. All that is neces-
sary to avoid receiving them is to state
when ordering copies that wired" ones
will be refused. If the publisher declines
to supply sewn copies, the buyer should
order the work in sheets and have them
bound up by competent bookbinder.
The extra trouble and cost will not be
wasted. 1t is unnecessary to explain
the mischiefs arising from the use of
wire; they are palpable on Inspection

A DIVIDED HOUSE.

When men like d. B. Lucas and
Senator Flournoy take stand in
opposition to machine politics, no
matter from what motives, there
must be strong ground to stand
upon and good reason for their
action. Beyond party purposes,
Camden's friends have nothing to
advance in his favor except his in
vestment of millions in railroads.
Mr.. Flournoy claims that the in
vestment pays him we'll and adds
that Gould and Vanderbilt built
fifty railroads and have $5O,OOO,0OO
invested, and they will never be
Senators. Camden's opposers argue
that the political newspapers do not
represent the wishes of the people,
but are controlled by those who have
a little money or Office to bestow.
They claim that the nominee of a
fragmentary caucus is not the choice
of the party; and deny that the
wishes of any county are reflected
by the lobby of Federal office
holders now surrounding the Legis.
lature.
1t is a political fight that does not
concern us, yet OF such vital impor-
lance to the people that we give it
passing attention. The fact of it's
being disturbing question in the
Democratic party is no motive to us,
for opinion is something a man
should not sell out to any party; and
for that matter we do say that if
ever the Republican party OF the
county or State is dependent upon a
political Camden, bis money or his
craftsmanship, the quicker it is de-
feated by the people the better for
their welfare and self-respect.

Speech OF English women.

No English woman interlards her
beautiful speech with foreign words.
Her linguistic studies have made her
speak English with greater purity,
lucidity and propriety. The English are
not as fluent they are not nearly as
ready to talk as Americans. We say
twenty words to their one, but they do
surpass us in voice, pronunciation and
elegance. Where foreign word is
more euphonious and expresses their
meaning better than a native one, its
adoption into colloquialisms seems to be-
come imperatively necessary. "Ennui,

body of people understood the situa.
ton they would he very far from
supporting Camden or any one like
him. Those who like himself had
refused to goi into a cancus, the re-
suit of which was pre- determined
had done so after considerable re-
Election and after consultation with
Democrats who had the confidence
of the great majority of the party
and he wanted it understood that
Camden would not be reelected
unless the Republicans came to his
rescue.
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY DEAL.
There is objection to Mr.. Camden
because he is concerned in corpora
tons like the Standard Oil Com
pany. But for himself it was a con-
elusive objection that Mr.. Camden
was member of that close corpora
ton whose capital stock was the
Federal patronage and whose divi-
dends were a distribution of the
Federal offices. 1t was no use to
pretend ignorance. The facts might
be kept out of the newspapers but
they were known to the people all
the same. The Senator formed a
close corporation to parcel out the
offices so as to a personal following
that might be used to perpetuate
themselves in power. Mr.. Flournoy
gave the particulars about the APP
pointment of q. S. District Attor
ney Watts. Watts was Kenna's
law. partner, and Kenna contended
that if appointed Watts conld and
would bring many members of the
Legislature, but Camden contended
that Leonard had already rendered
enough service to entitle himself to
the place. Wood DALEY was a can
didate. Both Senators were obliged
to tell the President that he was
competent and entirely acceptable
to the party. Dailey's backing was
the strongest, but he refused to wear
the collar of the ring. His appoint
ment was made out. The Senators
telegraphed for Watts and Leonard
to come to Washington, and these
gentlemen made an agreement to
conduct the Office in partnership and
divide the profits. He, Mr.. Flour
noy, would never submit to methods
the character of which was illustrat-
ed by the partnership between
Watts and Leonard.
TAKE HIM DOWN.
He called on the Camden men to
take down their candidate and
thereby save the party. Had it
come to such a pass that we had
only one man in the party fit to be
Senator? Was it treason to pro-
pose another candidate? What
gave Mr.. Camden bis strength ?
Was it craftsmanship or was it un-
clean political methods? "When
was it heard that Rome's wide walls
encompassed only one man ?"
